Why LIVOS

Natural wood finishes designed to become part of the wood, not simply sit on top of it.

Natural finishes. A different approach.

LIVOS develops penetrating finishes designed to work with wood rather than simply covering it. From ingredient transparency to coverage and maintenance, the difference is built into the way the products work.

Wood-penetrating protection

LIVOS oils penetrate and saturate the wood rather than relying only on a film at the surface. The finish works with the natural structure of the material while allowing the wood to retain its character.

Plant-based ingredients

LIVOS has built its approach around renewable raw materials and natural oils, resins and waxes rather than conventional synthetic binders.

Ingredient transparency

Transparency is part of the LIVOS philosophy. Product ingredients are disclosed so customers can better understand what they are applying to their surfaces.

Exceptional coverage

Penetrating oils are applied in very thin coats. Because the wood absorbs much of the first application, subsequent coats can require significantly less product.

Simpler maintenance

Rather than automatically refinishing an entire surface, many worn areas can be cleaned and renewed locally. This makes long-term maintenance more practical for many projects.

A finish that does not behave like a conventional surface coating

Because penetrating oils work within the wood rather than forming the same type of surface film as many conventional finishes, maintenance and ageing behave differently over time.

Made with people and the environment in mind

LIVOS has spent decades developing finishes around renewable materials, product performance and a commitment to reducing unnecessary synthetic ingredients.
